Managing License Activations

Free up a Verge Aero product key that has run out of activations — your own, or one belonging to someone in your organization.

A Verge Aero product key allows a fixed number of activations — one per machine it is installed on. Reinstalling, replacing a laptop, or moving between machines uses them up, so a key can run out even though only one person is using it. Deactivating a machine frees its seat for use somewhere else.

There are two places to do this, depending on whose key it is.

Your own activations

Open the user menu in the top-right of the portal and choose My Activations. Every key issued to you is listed with the machines it is currently activated on; deactivate any you no longer use.

Your organization's activations

Organization Managers and above can do the same for anyone in the organization, from Organization → Members.

Click a member's row to expand it. Their licenses appear beneath — one row per application, showing the app name, the product key, and the username it is registered to — and each license lists the machines it is activated on directly underneath it. There is no second click: "which machines is this person on" is the question this page exists to answer, so the answer is already on screen.

A license nobody has installed reads Not activated on any machine.

A member's row expanded, with each license showing the machines it is activated on.

Deactivating a machine

Deactivate on an individual activation frees that machine's seat. The license stays assigned to the member — you are releasing a seat, not taking their software away, so they can install again on a different machine straight away.

Deactivating someone else's machine requires the licenses permission in your organization. Looking at your own row without it, use My Activations from the user menu instead — you can always manage your own machines.

Deactivating is the only action here. There is deliberately no control that strips a license from a member: that is a genuinely destructive operation — it can turn off the application's entitlement or delete the product key outright — and it does not belong one click away from a routine one. If you need a license reassigned or removed, contact [e-mail].

Getting more licenses

Deactivating frees a seat on a key you already have; it does not add licenses. Adding someone to your organization does not issue them a Verge Design Studio or Verge Console license either — those are managed separately from membership.

To request additional licenses for a new or existing member, contact [e-mail].
